As an owner of some rental properties, I can state without doubt that this must be a rental home. Nobody would do this to their own sheetrock and paint. No, more than likely it is a Youth room of some poor church. :)

OK! It's not funny anymore! I have to pee! See Post #14. That's what the vice grips are for.

Duct tape was a product of the aerospace industry. It was originally used to fix holes in fuselages of airplanes... hence 100mph tape.
Its highly useful and multi purpose. Don't knock it... it may actually save you at some point in time. I always carry a roll in the glove box.

I have a question.
Would the duct tape be the standards $4.00 a roll variety or some special government purchase stuff that costs $400.00 a roll ?

Duct tape on a plane's wing.
To: Mr. Brightside
One day an older man is sitting on his front porch when a young boy walks by holding a roll of duct tape.
Whatchya got there boy?
Got some duck tape..gonna catch me some ducks!
The old guy chuckles and continues to sit on his porch. A few hours later, the boy walks back past his porch pulling a long strand of tape with about a half-dozen ducks stuck to it. Hmmm....
The next day, the old guy is sitting on the porch and along comes the boy with some rolled up chicken wire.
Whatchya got there boy? the man asks...
I got some chicken wire and I'm gonna catch me some chickens!
A while later, the boy comes by dragging the wire with a half-dozen chickens stuck in it.
The next morning, the boy walks by carrying a large handful of reeds.
Whatchya got there boy?? The old man asks...
"Pussy Willows!" the boy replies.
The old man exclaims hurriedly, Hold on boy, I'm gonna get my hat!!!

I had a large piece of my helicopter held on by about three rolls of duct tape wrapped around-and-around the airframe.
Crew chief painted it poor-man's camo and said "don't worry L.T., it'll hold." Lasted all of Desert Storm.

If tape is good enough for the Possum Lodge, it should work well for astronauts.

There is simply no job too big for duct tape.
To: Graybeard58
In addition to duct tape they should always carry some baling wire too. Don't forget JB Weld!

Well, it was painted tan, so it was probably good to 300.
